Lies Lyrics

Artist: Violent Femmes
Album: Violent Femmes 3

Well I'm reading this poemand it's so profoundand I like its rhythmand I like its soundit's by a very famous poetno critic can criticiseand then I pause a momentand I start to realizehe's tellin'lies lies lieson the motel TV.I dig the evangelisthe'll tell you all about thatand then he tell you all about thishe's preachin' up a stormby the sea of Galileehe's mixin' up the truthwith something funny I start to seehe's tellin'lies lies liesI never had this problemwith nobody in the governmentI guess I always figuredthey never mean what they meantand GOD help us allnot to be so stone surprisedwhen we wake up in the starswith the skies in our eyesif we keep tellin'lies lies lies
